Mauto: What fools, these Xaela! Thinking no one would notice their clumsy attempts to sneak inside the Kienkan! Mauto: Little do they know how lucky they are to have been caught by me and not Hakuro─he would have cut them all down without a second thought!

Buduga stalkers outside of and behind the Kienkan, Lord Hien’s residence in the Doma Enclave. They have speech bubbles about tracking his schedule.

Will there be actual story about this, or is it just a running visual gag? Guess we’ll find out!

(Twelve grant me strength…)

“Just how obscure is that job crystal in lore terms?”: a heirarchy

All of the soul crystals still require from the user hard work, and experience in the discipline, to activate:

The wisdom in a soul crystal, however, is not so easily drawn forth - an untrained neophyte cannot simply pick up one of these gems and expect his mind to be flooded with the knowledge of advanced spellcraft or combat techniques. Without first attaining sufficient proficiency and tempering one’s soul to mirror the maturity of the crystal’s contributors, a prospective student will be denied even the slightest glimpse of enlightenment. Thus, as is the case with the more contemporary disciplines, the key to mastering the secrets of a soul crystal lies in diligent study and training.

Below I will attempt to detail how tough the crystals are to come by, and some of the challenges in obtaining and retaining them. I wrote it based on impressions from the lore book, and the quests up to level 40 or so.

Make sure to read the notes for corrections and expansions, as I’m sure people will have some to add!

Au Ra aging - long post!

Running around on the Azim Steppe I’ve been thinking about the older and younger Au Ra that you can see and decided to do a compilation/comparison chart of sorts that can be used as reference for fanart etc.

I’ve tried to approximate the appearance with the character creation, but some might be a little off since it was difficult with the colors in different lightning.

Females:

This first set was the first one I noticed and I included the Xaela lady as well since she has less facial scales, but is clearly older that the player character. The older ones have longer horns and more scales on their faces/necks, but I couldn’t see any obvious difference in tail length.

Again, horns become longer and more scales on face/neck area. The children have tiny tiny tails <3

This one was the most difficult since the child’s horn shape doesn’t really look like any of the available horns. The shape is too different to the rounder/oval horns and they seem to be growing down/backwards, so I’m guessing this is the match.

Males:

I’m unsure about the child here, but compared to the adult horns I think that this is the most likely match.The face scales does not match however, but it seems like theres only two models for the children’s faces (girl and boy). Male horns seem to get thicker and have more swirly patterns with age, but lose some of its shape. More facial scales with age.
